Castle Upton, Norman castle in Templepatrick, United Kingdom
Castle Upton stands as a fortified structure with three medieval towers and a Great Hall containing a 13th-century fireplace near Belfast.
The site initially housed a fortified priory built by the Knights of St John before the current building construction around 1610 by the Norton family.
The castle underwent modifications in the 1780s according to Scottish architect Robert Adam's designs, including the creation of the distinctive Adam Yard.
The castle functions as a wedding venue and features surrounding grounds with a cemetery containing graves of notable historical figures.
Archaeological investigations revealed the presence of 12th-century Norman ridge tiles and an ancient burial site within the castle grounds.
